NAIROBI, KENYA | Obama's half-brother calls a shack home and lives on less than $1 a month

The photograph shows a young, unsmiling man standing in front of a jagged fence built from scraps of timber and rusted bits of corrugated metal.

The 26-year-old man is outside his shanty home on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya.

He survives on less than $1 a month.

He says he is Barack Obama's half-brother.

"I live like a recluse," George Hussein Onyango Obama says in an article published in the latest edition of the Italian-language Vanity Fair. "No one knows I exist."

Thanks to the madness of King George and the brilliance of our Founding Fathers the Brits don't vote here either.

You can see why Barack sponsored the Global Poverty act as he stated that most around the world live on lest then a $1.00 per day.

Well he and Michelle could give some of his campaign money under the table to raise his standard of living up to the $1.00 per day. How about it Barack?

Maybe send that Gaza money to George?
